LAHORE: Former chief minister of Punjab Chaudhary Parvez Elahi along with his son Rasikh Elahi called on Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan at Zaman Park on Monday and discussed with him issues of bilateral interest.
Pervaiz Elahi assured the PTI chief of joining him in his call for upcoming protests ahead of the Supreme Court’s deadline for holding an election in Punjab on May 14.
Ongoing political situation of the country and vindictive activities against Mr Elahi and his family also came under discussion during the meeting.
Condemning the Punjab caretaker government for ruling the province after 90 days of the dissolution of the assembly, the two leaders stressed expressing solidarity with the SC and CJP.
Earlier, Imran Khan had announced rallies across Pakistan until May 14 and had resolved to do so until elections were held.
A few days ago, Punjab police and Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) team had raided Mr Elahi’s residence in Lahore, but after six-hour long operation, failed to apprehend the former chief minister.
The action drew strong criticism from the PTI which had been voicing concern against the arrest of its workers and leaders. The police action came to a halt when Punjab ACE Director General Sohail Zafar Chattha left the scene along with the police contingent.
